This was an excellent place to stay to discover much of NS. Day trips are very doable to Halifax, Lunenburg, Peggy's Cove, Mahone Bay, and, although a little further, wine country in Wolfville. Chester and Hubbards are a little closer and offer a number of excellent shops and restaurants. Returning to number 7 is like coming home to relaxing luxury with an outstanding view. The house is very modern and well equipped for towels, sheets as well as kitchen appliances and utensils. Finally, there are many unnecessary but great touches such as funky martini jug and glasses, champagne flutes and even a Brita water jug in the fridge. We would highly recommend this house.

Beautiful!

The cottage was beautiful! Very clean and stocked with extras (spices, tea…) The owners were very easy to reach and answered any questions we had. It was a little out of the way for some activities, but worth it. Can see the ocean from almost every room and the ocean breeze in the afternoon/evening was very relaxing.The kids liked having the loft area with their own bathroom. We would definitely stay here again should we return to Nova Scotia.

Best Ocean Front Rental!

Beautiful home! Ultra clean! Floor to ceiling windows along the entire front of the house! Perfect views of the bay every day, regardless of the weather. Secluded, but there are neighbors behind. The host was amazing. So welcoming, so friendly, kind and helpful. We arrived late on a rainy, foggy night. Too late to stop at a store. We found lights on, coffee, English muffins, and jam for our breakfast. So very thoughtful!! We would recommend this property to anyone looking for a rugged, rustic landscape with a lovely house facing the bay! Perfect!

Home away from home😊

My son and I had an absolutely amazing time at this property. We are very familiar with the area and it was a wonderful base to see family, explore our favorite villaged, and to just chill to the sights and sounds of the ocean. The house is stunning and has everything you need for an easy stay. The kitchen is well-stocked with basics and there was plenty of soap/dishwasher tabs/laundry detergent/toiletried to keep us clean! We enjoyed the proximity to the beach, an easy 1km walk and I took frequent advantage of the Adirondack chairs on the shore for my morning coffee and evening wine. The owners were very responsive and clearly take pride in tbis wonderful propery. Our only suggestion would be to provide a propane bbq. We really like to grill in the summer, but don't always want the hassle of charcoal. We would love to rent again in the future.

Wonderful Home and View!

The home looked exactly as the pictures showed. It was spotless, roomy and had a beachy vibe to it. It had everything we required for our stay and the hosts were responsive and very helpful! The view was spectacular - we enjoyed our morning coffees watching dolphins and a seal from the dock. A buck and doe visited the property a few times. I would highly recommend staying here. We toured to surrounding towns during the day and returned to the comfort of the house each evening. We would 100% stay here again. It’s a beautiful home and even better view!

Location was perfect and the property was incredible. We enjoyed a fully functional kitchen and the most spectacular view of the ocean. The house was immaculately clean and very cozy. We also were visited one morning by a momma deer and her baby. Thank you so much for your hospitality, we can’t wait to come back!

Hidden Gem

My family were the first people to book this property on VRBO and we were not disappointed by our early decision to head back to Lunenburg County this summer. The cottage is in beautiful Bayswater- only minutes from my favourite East Coast beach. The location is secluded so it required some forward planning in terms of buying groceries and other essentials but we adored the quiet and serene locale. Our favourite part was daily visits from a new “deer” friend. The cottage itself is pristine and well cared for. Heather was a very attentive host and she made the whole process extremely easy. The washer and dryer on site proved essential given all the beach towels we were going through. Having beach chairs provided and a charcoal BBQ were nice surprises! I would not hesitate to book this property again and I highly recommend others check it out. Especially if you have never been to NS. It’s location offers the best of both worlds- a quiet and serene locale but close enough to the tourist spots in Chester, Mahone Bay and Lunenburg. We played a few rounds of scenic golf, ate phenomenal seafood and visited the caves at “The Ovens”. We were so sad to leave….

Excellent cottage. Great hosts. Only issues are: Only one shower. Upstairs has a nice standalone bath, but no shower. It's located about 20 minutes from stores, in either direction, which might be an issue for some.

Oceanside getaway

Cottage was exactly like i thought it would be but even closer to the ocean than i expected. Super clean, super fresh and tastefully done. Only way to improve that i saw was maybe some screens in the master bedroom to hear the waves at night and maybe spin the couch and chaise to view the ocean. Everything else was absolutely perfect. We will be back!
